SSS or try talking to the neighbors first? Running the hunting property at-will a couple of times a week. Three dogs.

Sss.

They won’t listen trust me

If it’s actual deer dogs the game wardens exact words were “ it sucks but there’s really nothing you can do about it “. Well he was dead wrong about that.

Pretty dang crappy behavior to shoot your neighbors dogs. The dang pine goats likely don't even pay attention to them.

I don’t condone any harm to animals who escape their idiots from lack of feed, but if you’re gonna swing MAKE IT COUNT. Don’t need to hit a foul ball and it get into the stands…

What about cows? After they ruin a potential $10k-$15k hay crop?

You are right. Dogs are just doing what dogs are supposed to do. It’s the low life hunter’s that turn loose on others property and stand their line waiting on anything their dogs run onto their property who truly need shot.

First step would be a convo.

I wouldn’t shoot them, instead you could catch them and take them to the pound. Nothing illegal about that. And no dead dogs on your conscience.

Not a fan of shooting pets, but "the dang pine goats likely don't even pay attention to them" doesn't remotely correlate to my experience seeing'hearing dogs. YMMV

Killed some good ones running from house dogs.

Your neighbor may have shot a bigger one they ran off your place. Lol Actually had this conversation with my only neighbor about this recently.More about it getting in my trash than running the woods which it does occasionally. I just explained how many dangers there are woods what with coyotes, snakes, hogs and coyote eradication methods and if they really cared about the dog it should stay home. I think he got the hint. All bluff though because although an uncollared pit looking dog would have a short life expectancy around here I could never harm a neighbors pet no matter how big a pain it might be. I also let them know that from then on any trash I had I to pick up would be relocated to their driveway. Been about 2 weeks with no visits so maybe I got through.
